“You clearly have a lot you want to say.” Emerson disagreed, his voice tinged with dryness; just a bit. “I understand if you don’t want to talk to me about everything and all, but you should at least talk to your best friend, don’t you think?” He continued, walking towards her slowly now. He was fully aware of the fact she could apparate straight out of his grasp, and he wouldn’t put it past her to do as much. “Holland,” He frowned, stopping when there was a little more than a foot between them. “I feel like you’re not really here half the time. You’re standing right there, but it’s as if I can’t reach you, and well I…I wish you’d let me.” Emerson finished quietly, his voice only a little above a whisper now. He gently placed his hand on her shoulder. “… and I wish you wouldn’t be upset with me. I do apologize, though; for making you wait.”
no one, in her entire life, has been able to read someone like holland : usually drowning herself in her own thoughts & demons, keeping herself quiet for no one to knowledge such overwhelming things ---- but for anyone with eyes & while having enough attention on the pair, anyone would knew that the taller male was able to read her. maybe there were stuff he doesn’t know & does not need to know yet, but he knew when something was bothering her : and she may, or may not hate that. sometimes she feels vulnerable to his eyes. jawline clenches when eyne fixes on the floor for a moment, with lips lightly pursing to the side : she stands hubristic, but oh, she knows he’s right. when speech comes to an end & a hand settles on her shoulder, she’s almost loss at words, & considering she didn’t want to feel vulnerable in that moment, tongue slips a tiny joke. “ you said you can’t reach me but you’re touching me right now. ” she mumbled with a tiny spark of amusement on words, but she is mostly embarassed due to her loss of words.
